Don McKeller is a Tony Award winner, writer of Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould' and has starred in numerous TV shows and movies coming out of Canada. He has worked a lot with Director Bruce McDonald. Not only are all of the following DVDs starring Don McKeller, but they are all directed by Bruce McDonald. Bruce is also known for his work on 'Queer as Folk' and 'Degrassi: The Next Generation'.

Twitch City

Twitch City was a Canadian TV show and this complete TV series is now available in a 2 DVD set. Twitch City not only stars Don McKeller but he also created the show.

Twitch City explores our addiction to television in a comedic way. McKeller plays Curtis who spends all of his time glued to his TV screen annoying his roommate and anyone else that comes into contact with him. He spends all this time in front of the "boob tube" avoiding all of his normal daily responsibilities (even showering it seems).

Twitch City originally aired on Bravo in the United States and on CBC in Canada. This 2-disc set includes 13 episodes.

Roadkill

Roadkill is an interesting (to say the least) Rock n' Roll film that starts off like an odd and twisted wildlife documentary about rabbits becoming extinct due to being overcome by traffic (hence the films name being "Roadkill").

Roadkill is filmed in Black & White. It takes us on the journey that a girl named Ramona must make to the wilds of Northern Ontario Canada to cancel a bands tour. Ramona's trip leads her into a messed up world of bizarre people and the Ramones very own Joey Ramone. Ramona gives us commentary on her trip as we see what she sees and feel the emotions she feels.

Roadkill was originally filmed in 1989 and is now digitally re-mastered in all its glory. A great movie for the fan of cheesy Rock n' Roll flicks!

Highway 61

Highway 61 is the last of Bruce McDonald's DVD Road Trilogy (which included Roadkill). Highway 61 is the crazy adventure of a one-car funeral procession from Northern Ontario Canada to New Orleans on the only continuous highway between Canada and the US (that would be Highway 61, duh!).
